Fiona you are absolutely correct: i have never bought a fake designer item , they are illegal, morally reprehensible, and extremely ugly..dont think that you are supporting the balinese economy through the purchase of these goods - the items come from other parts of asia and their sale profits other illegal activities...
so Fiona - think before you purchase one ! buy a locally made beaded purse , you will be doing much more for the balinese economy by doing so.. and it looks a damn sight better!
